YouTube is a competition...

I think if you go in with a mind set of competing against your own self and your own goals, then yes. It's fine, healthy and a great way to motivate yourself. But as soon as you compare yourself to others, then your content will naturally go down. You will be more concerned about mass producing than actual quality. MHO.

YouTube is a competition for *most* of the people who cared enough to find yttalk and view/post here. You are either in competition with others in your niche for placement in the search ranking results or if you are one of the people who say that you somehow don't care about views/subs/growth you are in competition with yourself to be the best version of yourself that you can be.

For the people who care enough to view/post on yttalk YouTube is a competition. You are either in competition with others in your niche for placement in the search ranking results or if you are one of the people who say that you somehow don't care about views/subs/growth you are in competition with yourself to be the best version of yourself that you can be.

I disagree with the first part. Theres a difference in caring about the quality that you're producing and the views. I joined to try and learn how to improve my quality, not improve my view count. So I guess I meet the second part, of trying to be the best version of myself. But I don't think this forum is strictly for people trying "to go big"
